then lilypond should issue a warning about this incompatibility…

it could as well be 4 in the 1st and 1 in the last or 1 in each system - i
thought lilypond would find a nice way to display these 5 measures. 

i made a minimal example which shows - in my opinion - the problems. i was
working on an a6 sheet with many more measures and i tried to reduce the
problem to a simple code not to bother you with more details.

 First of all, without ragged-last-bottom, I get

i will try that!

still one question: why does LilyPond put 2 measures in the 1st system and
only 1 in the following?
